Prove that the value of the expression does not depend on a: a−(6a−(5a−8))

Mathematics
1 answer:
djyliett [7]3 years ago
3 0

Step-by-step explanation:

a−(6a−(5a−8))

a-(6a-5a+8)

a-6a+5a-8

6a-6a-8

0-8

=-8

so the answer doesn't depend on a

Solve 2x^3+7x^2-2x-1=o​
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

x=\sqrt{3}-2\\x=-\sqrt{3}-2\\x=\frac{1}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a hard one

We have to use the rational root theorem

2x^3+7x^2-2x-1 = 0

We have to find all the factors of a and d and put them in a fraction

a=2\\d=-1\\\frac{1}{1,2}

We then plug them into the equation to see if any of them work

The equation isn't true when plugging 1, but is true when plugging in 1/2

factored form of 1/2 is (2x-1)

Then we divide the original equation by (2x-1) (you can use synthetic division or long division, it would be hard to type out the process for that) to get x^2+4x+1

So now the equation is (2x-1)(x^2+4x+1)

Solve the second half of this equation using the quadratic formula to get

\sqrt{3}-2 and -\sqrt{3}-2

We already know the solution for the first half of the equation (1/2)

So the final answers are:

x=\sqrt{3}-2, -\sqrt{3}-2, \frac{1}{2}

This rational expression is nonequivalent. 5x / 25x^4 ; x^3 / 5x^15<br> True or false?????
FromTheMoon [43]

It is nonequivalent. Figure it out this way. Think about what number has to be multiplied by both the numerator and the denominator of \frac{5x}{25x^4} to get to \frac{x^3}{5x^15}. It has to be the samee number for the one expression to be equivalent to the other. To get from 5x to x^3, we have to multiply by 1/5x^2. When we do that we get x^3. Good. Now we have to multiply the denominator by the same thing, 1/5x^2. 25x^4(\frac{1}{5}x^2)=5x^6. As you can see, they are not equivalent.

True or False: Point estimation is a form of statistical inference in which, based on the sample data, we estimate the unknown p
storchak [24]

Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

Point estimation of a population parameter provides an estimate of  a single value calculated from the sample that is likely to be close to its value to the unknown parameter. Itis to be noted that a point estimate will not in general be equal to the population parameter as the random sample used is one of the many possible samples which could be chosen from the population.

For example, in estimation, we may estimate the mean and the variance of a population by computing the mean and the variance of the sample drawn from a population.
